Open a recent directory in dired: revisited

I wrote recently about how to use the command diredp-dired-recent-dirs from dired+ to open a recently used directory in dired. It turns out I had misunderstood what that command was for – it is intended to create a dired buffer containing a list of recently used directories, which is not exactly what I wanted.

Here is a function to give you a list of recent directories, using ivy (part of swiper) to narrow it dynamically, and then open the selected one in dired.
